Star Interview: Mark Shuttleworth
Linked by Amjith Ramanujam on Wed 16th Jul 2008 22:30 UTC, submitted by computerishcat
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical, recently did an interview with derStandard in which he discussed issues with Ubuntu's latest release, innovation, the future of GNOME, and other subjects. Perhaps the most interesting thing he said is that Linux does not yet deliver "a good enough user experience." Of course, you could say that of any operating system. Editor's Note: QT-based Gnome was also an interesting point-of-view.

Gnome does not own GTK, *technically* or not. GTK was a graphics toolkit developed for GIMP, and it's now bundled with a bunch of other separately maintained packages and libraries as a development environment. No single organization *owns* GTK, and that is part of the problem.

I thought that GTK key developers now all work for Imendio.
